One Mom's Quest to become an Author

setback

I’m back! Sorry guys, I had a Crohn’s setback and have been in the hospital for the last week. After careful consideration, I decided that pain medication and social media do not mix well. But I’m back home and trying to climb back in the saddle, writing-wise.

This one really took me by surprise. I was in such a good stride after the conference. I was motivated and inspired, I had queries out, and was waiting for replies. I was writing daily and making great progress with my new novel. And then, BAM – hospital time. A week of pain and the swirling haze of narcotics, and my mind is reduced to mush. And now I’m facing a possible liver complication. How do I pull myself out of this and get back on my path? I don’t really have an answer for that question. For now I’m just putting fingers to keyboard and hoping something comes out. But I will not give up on my dream. Crohn’s has moved somethings out of my reach, but it will not take this away from me.

Join me next week, for an interview with my favorite new poet, Elijah Burrell. Check out his book A Skin of the River on amazon. Thanks for reading!
